He walked into the main events hall of the Tucson City Center Hotel spotting a headband of his church in Ghana (ARS), sunglasses and a white t-shirt with his signature chant 'neho' inscribed.
With subtle fanfare and led by his father and accompanied by almost 10 fans wearing customized t-shirts, Dogboe confidently entered the hall and took a seat for the official weigh in. Of course, he looked very trimmed - a result of the months of taking pain in the gym and elsewhere to ready for tonight's battle of destiny.
Remember, Isaac Dogboe (20-1- 14kos) v Emmanuel Navarette (26-1, 22kos) is not the main event of this top rank fight night to be staged at the Tucson Convention Center, the WBC Super featherweight title fight between Miguel Berchelt and Francisco Vargas is. But for a moment one would have mistaken Dogboe's co-main feature as the top feature because of his charisma and the buzz created by his immediate team at the weigh-in. His trademark chant 'neho' echoed across the hall which had almost 100 journalists and fans.
The Ghanaian goes into this bout with informed confidence - knowing how dangerous his opponent is and being better prepared to face him in the second instalment.
Following the big surprise at the Madison Square Garden Dogboe dropped from being the favourite to underdog on the graphs of the bookmakers. most of the predictions favour the unassuming Navarette for obvious reasons. Navarette's reach advantage of eight inches and height advantage of five inches, as well as his punch combinations, are seen as great assets going into this rematch.
